Data from voltammograms at frequencies from 0.5 Hz to 20 kHz are assembled into electrochemical impedance spectra and analysed using equivalent circuits. Inductive behavior and negative relaxation times are attributed to nucleation and growth behavior. The rate-determining step is proposed to be the reaction of adsorbed CO and OH at the edge of islands of OH, with competition between OH and CO adsorption for the released reaction sites UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K484fIkD4TOXpnSy8ZOWRkG-Mra4A3f5/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
